Chapter 1 I Refuse
When the Lazio team returned to Rome with the Champions League trophy, the entire city of Rome was a sensation.
Lazio's triumph was broadcast live on television.
From the moment Jose Passarella and Chang Sheng got off the plane holding the Champions League trophy together, the whole process was broadcast live.
All the Lazio fans heard the news and flocked to it.
Plaza de España is already known from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, and there are densely packed Lazio fans along the way.
There are also fans who are chasing after this time. They are there when the bus is at the airport. When the bus was heading from the airport expressway to the urban area, they all drove to keep up.
In the urban area, there are them in this place, and there will be them in the next place.
Seeing this dense and never-ending crowd, even the Lazio players were surprised when they were usually at the Olympic Stadium, but they didn't feel that they had so many fans! ..
The Olympic Stadium in Rome can accommodate 100,000 people, but in fact, in the past two seasons, Lazio's home attendance rate was around 45,000 people. The number of people in the first season was even smaller, around 35,000, because at that time Lazio had already fallen to the bottom, Chang Sheng had just arrived, and everyone was not very enthusiastic.
From the second season, Lazio's home attendance began to increase significantly. Now the average attendance per game is over 45,000 people.
Looking at the current crowd, it doesn't look like there are only 45,000 people...
"Perhaps today, Lazio fans from all over Italy came here to witness the most glorious moment in the history of Lazio clubs! The European Champions Cup! This honor, which symbolizes the glory of European football clubs, is now in the hands of Lazio!"
The person in charge of the live broadcast then spoke to the camera.
Wherever the bus passed, there were cheers and singing from Lazio fans.
The players boarded the second floor of the bus one by one, held up the trophy and interacted with the fans below.
The victorious ones also sit on the top floor.
Lotito sat next to him.
"Looking at this scene, it's really exciting!" Lotito said excitedly. "I have never seen so many Lazio fans at the same time, not even if we win the league! This makes me believe that Lazio really has a lot of fans!"
Chang Sheng was very calm.
"Scenes like this will be common in the future, Mr. Chairman."
"But I have a question, Chang. This team has reached its peak... yes, its peak. We've won three league titles..."
"Two, Mr. Chairman."
Facing the stubborn Changsheng, Lotito had no choice but to surrender: "Well, there are two. The league championship. We won two, the Champions League winner one, and the UEFA Cup winner one. I can't think of ours. How good can the grades be... What should I do next?"
Chang Sheng replied: "Of course it is to continue to win the championship. I wish Mr. Xi. You don't think that one Champions League championship is enough?"
Lotito was also intimidated by Chang Sheng's ambition.
"How many more do you want to take?"
"Take it until I get bored." Chang Sheng said with a smile.
Lotito wiped his sweat and felt that it was better not to continue on this topic, as he had something serious to ask.
"Okay...but they've got everything they can get, how much motivation do they have? You know, even a team like Barcelona has performed poorly after winning the Champions League. It's going to be a blood change..." Lotito looked at the players who were posing for a photo with the trophy. He lowered his voice and said to Chang Sheng.
At this moment, a player came over and grinned at Chang Sheng: "Boss, go say hello to the fans, they are calling your name!"
Chang Sheng stood up with a smile, walked over with him, and held up the trophy.
When I saw Chang Sheng appear on the bus, holding the championship trophy in his hand. The Lazio fans immediately cheered excitedly.
They chanted the ever-victorious nickname, the one that the media ridiculed and belittled. I think it should be a derogatory nickname.
But Lazio fans love it.
"Tyrant! Tyrant! Tyrant!! Welcome! The whole city of Rome is now under your feet!!"
The surrounding fans raised their hands, bowed their bodies, and made a gesture of worship.
Chang Sheng waved to them like the Pope in the Vatican.
Then amidst the cheers of everyone like a flood, he retreated, walked back to his seat and sat down.
He continued the topic just now.
"People with no motivation. Just sell them and go find someone with motivation."
Chang Sheng replied.

Lazio won the Champions League and became the focus of discussion among European media.
All major European media and news agencies reported on Chang Sheng's achievements in the first place.
In China, it is even more so.
Various media, professional sports newspapers, comprehensive evening newspapers. Even the daily newspapers of various party and government organs have reported on Chang Sheng's achievements.
"...he is the youngest head coach of the Champions League in Europe. The whole Europe is singing praises for him!"
"...Chang Sheng is an excellent coach who went out of this city, went to Europe, and finally proved himself successfully in European football... He was born in this city on September 25, 1972..."
"Chang Sheng's coach when he was in the provincial professional team said in an interview that he showed his talent and talent as a head coach when he was very young. He later retired from the professional team because of some willingness, and he encouraged Chang Sheng to take the exam. With a coaching certificate... Now seeing his former disciple shine in European football, the old coach is also very pleased..."
"In the media, Chang Sheng is a controversial figure. But there is one thing that cannot be disputed, that is, he is the head coach who can bring championships the most. As long as your team wants championships, then you will definitely Prioritize his! From Getafe to Lazio, he has gone through a successful road. But readers and friends may not know much about his early years. From this issue, this magazine will publish a part of Chang Sheng’s early years The experience of studying abroad in Europe..."
"In 2008, the Olympic Games was held in Beijing in front of our house. This is a great opportunity for Chinese football to achieve a breakthrough! And now we have such an excellent head coach, why can't we let him play for the country to win glory? For a long time, China The level of football is backward. It is also related to the lack of high-level head coaches. Now that Chang Sheng has achieved unprecedented success in Europe, why can’t our Football Association hire Chang Sheng to coach our national team and Olympic team? Especially the Olympic team Under the Olympic strategy, it is not difficult to let Chang Sheng coach the Olympic team, right? "
...
for a while. In the Chinese media, there are all kinds of voices, and it is really lively.
It would be fine if the media just talked about it, but Chang Sheng really received calls from the Chinese Football Association because they didn't have their own contact information, and they might have found themselves through reporters.
At that time, Chang Sheng had just started their vacation with Avril Lavigne, and the two were planning to go to the Great Barrier Reef this time.
As a hard-working otaku in his previous life, Chang Sheng has a dream after earning money in his rebirth, that is to visit all the world-famous tourist attractions that he could only see on pictures in his previous life, and he doesn’t need to study hard about tourism. Raiders. Find out how to save money. Lord is rich!
As soon as he arrived in Australia, his international roaming mobile phone received a call from the Football Association.
When the other party applied for his identity, Chang Sheng was so surprised that his brain didn't respond.
Before that, he had no contact with the Chinese Football Association at all.
"We have something to discuss with you, is it convenient for you to answer the phone?" The other party was still polite.
Chang Sheng nodded: "It's convenient for me. What's the matter, just tell me."
I don't know why, but Chang Sheng's intuition told him that it might not be a good thing...
"Well. That's it, Mr. Chang. Are you interested in coaching the Chinese Olympic team for the Olympics?"
Chang Sheng felt as if he was hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he was killed by the thunderbolt.
He really didn't think about the Olympics at all. Although the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing this year. It is a big event in China.
But he didn't think it had much to do with him.
He is the head coach of the Lazio club. When the Olympics start, he needs to lead the team to prepare for the new season. He can't even watch the Olympics, except to watch the opening ceremony again...
Unexpectedly, just like this, the Olympic Games could still get in touch with him...
Seeing Chang Sheng, the other party remained silent for a long time because he disagreed. So he said: "Of course, we will not ask you to give up your job in Lazio. In fact, it is a short-term behavior. When the Olympics is over, we will terminate the contract relationship..."
It can be seen that the other party is really thinking about Chang Sheng, but Chang Sheng wants to sigh now.
Do you know why Chinese football always fails to get up?
There are many reasons why everyone says it sucks.
But as the highest direct management organization of Chinese football. But it's so amateur... I have to say, it's also an important reason.
After Chang Sheng's brain responded, he actually guessed why the Football Association did this.
His reputation in the media is not very good, which may be the reason why the Football Association has ignored him for so many years.
They should know what kind of temper they are.
But this year is the year of the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Games is the greatest achievement of the leaders of China. Whoever can excel in the Olympic Games will surely have a prosperous official career in the future.
As the most popular sport, football has naturally attracted much attention.
Although Chinese football is getting worse every year, Chinese people's attention to football is still as high as ever.
Especially the Olympics. The Chinese Olympic team can directly enter the race without participating in the qualifiers.
Many Chinese fans are full of longing for the performance of the Chinese team in the Olympics.
Don't count on the Olympic gold medal, it's always okay to enter the knockout round, right?
Under such circumstances, the leaders of the Chinese Football Association naturally hope that the Olympic team will perform better in the Olympics.
But for a team to perform well, it needs a good coach.
After much deliberation, it is best to always win. Moreover, Chang Sheng just won the Champions League and became famous.
Leaving aside achievements, being able to invite Chang Sheng to coach the Olympic team is a great achievement!
At that time, there will be both gimmicks and achievements... kill two birds with one stone!
But they really thought they were gods, took over the team in June, and led the team to achieve good results in the Olympics in August?
"Uh, sorry about that. I'm not interested."
Chang Sheng answered very directly, which surprised the person on the other end of the phone.
In their view, it is such a glorious thing to be able to lead the Olympic team to participate in the Olympic Games and show their faces in front of 1.4 billion Chinese people...
How could anyone say no?
"This... Mr. Chang, don't you think about it?" The other party still wanted to persuade Chang Sheng.
But Chang Sheng is very clear about the result of his becoming the head coach of the Olympic team.
He came from time travel, and he is very clear about the performance of the Chinese Olympic team in this Olympic Games, and he is also very clear about those things before and after the Olympic Games.
And he knew very well that even if he went, he would still be a puppet. Because of the most basic point, he can't even decide who is on the Olympic team's roster!
These people are all stuffed in with money. What an honor to be able to participate in the Olympics?
So naturally there will be people stuffing money into the Olympic team.
Is there any need to coach such a team?
Therefore, Changsheng clearly rejected the Football Association.
"No, I don't have to think about it. First of all, I am the head coach of Lazio, and we have a very heavy preparation task in the summer. I don't have this experience to distract me from coaching the Olympic team. Secondly, you are really sure that you can give me what I want Power?"
When Chang Sheng said the first reason, people from the Football Association still wanted to try to persuade him, and planned to intervene several times. But when he heard the second reason Chang Sheng said, there was no sound over there.
So Chang Sheng knew their answers.
He said goodbye to the other party very simply, and then hung up the phone.
Chinese football, there is no way to have an intersection with him now.
He doesn't know how long it will take, the good news is that he has a long career as a manager.
Maybe... before he retires, there is still a chance?
Maybe……
Really maybe.
